Top 12 Most Powerful Musicians of Today

source
When compiling a list of the Most Powerful Musicians, one must take into account not just album sales, but also clothing lines, fragrances, sold-out tours, charities, endorsement deals and, of course, relevancy. When you throw all of these important ingredients together and bake for more than 15 minutes of fame, you get the following 12 entertainers.

12. 50 Cent The King of Drama
11. Christina Aguilera The Chameleon
10. Miley Cyrus The Teen Queen
9. Bono The Global Ambassador
8. Kanye West The Loudmouth
7. Beyonce The Bootylicious Businesswoman
6. Timbaland The Music Maestro
5. Hilary Duff The Mini Mogul
4. Diddy The Unstoppable Entrepreneur
3. Madonna The Living Legend
2. Jay-Z The Franchise
1. Justin Timberlake The New King of Pop
Back in 1991, the "King of Pop" Michael Jackson released an album entitled Dangerous, which launched 6 Top 20 hits. Flash forward 15 years and Justin Timberlake releases his second solo album, FutureSex/LoveSounds, which goes on to launch 6 Top 20 hits. The only difference here is that when Michael Jackson accomplished said feat, he was nearing the end of his musical career - Justin Timberlake is only just beginning. Girls love him, guys want to be him, and parents think he's the perfect boy to have over for Christmas dinner. He inducts Madonna into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, he dates respectable women, and he loves getting Punk'd. He sings, he dances, he plays piano and guitar, he beatboxes, and now he acts. It seems the man can do no wrong, and thus he ends up at number 1. The New King of Pop, indeed.

Well each one on the list has their own explanation but they don't really matter do they? Justin, as they say the new king of pop, is all that matters! hehe
